Lu Sangjiu froze. She had considered that Gu Jue might not be in the best condition, but she never imagined he would withdraw from the competition altogether.
'As the male lead, even if he's injured, he should still be able to dominate everyone, shouldn't he?'
'Could it be... that Gu Jue has lost his protagonist's halo?'
Lu Sangjiu was certain that the book she'd read was written from Ye Zhiyao's perspective. Even though Gu Jue was the male lead, his entire role was to serve Ye Zhiyao.
'So, if Gu Jue and Ye Zhiyao no longer love each other, does that mean he's been freed from his role as the male lead? And has he lost his protagonist's halo for good?'
Though it was just a guess, Lu Sangjiu had a nagging feeling that this was the truth.
And so, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt toward Gu Jue... He had always been helping her, and as for the protagonist's halo, regardless of her original intentions, she had ultimately caused him to lose some of its advantages.
